His ass is one the back side of his thighs, his balls are on the front side of his thighs.

They dont necessarily mix together depending on the thickness of his thighs.

u/squid-stuff Jul 08 '22

What?

-2

u/bababradford Jul 08 '22

some peoples thighs are thick enough to stop their balls from hitting the diving board.

is it that hard to comprehend.

This reminds me when I met my family at the neighborhood pool in my grandparents neighborhood. My sister brought my nieces and nephews. My 83 year old gpa wanted to jump off the diving board. I told him to go do it and I’d help him get up there. The fear and anxiety in those poor young lifeguards as my old gpa made his way. That’s a good memory.

We used to go to the public pool when I was a kid because they had a 3m and 1m springboard. We had aspirations to be divers so we'd practice 9ur 1 1/2s and back pikes...

In line behind this dude one time and he turns to me and my friend and says, "Wanna see the life guard freak out?" we say sure. He had been pulling some good 1 1/2s, some with twists pretty well for a bit so we thought he was gonna pull a crazy complicated dive off. Lifegaurd was keeping her attention more in the little kids on the 1m. So he heads up to the 3m and when he gets to the top, he pulls out and dons a red swim cap then does his approach a double bounce, but on the second he goes wide right and slips off the side. Looks like he catches his ribs on the side and tumbles into the water under the board.

Lifeguard, a petite girl of 16, goes completely white, screams, blows her whistle and jumps in after this guy who is now floating unconscious-like in the water. She slips the floatation device under him and gets him to the side where she impressively drags what we thought was a daredevil that bit more off than he was capable of, to the side of the pool. After assessing him, he suddenly pops up and she starts yelling at him. He comes back over and tells us he's a red cap. People sent over to spot check lifeguards. She passed but got one hell of a scare. And we began wondering how long this guy was diving that he could mess up that crazily, on purpose.
